Welcome to the last one of these for the month of November. It has been an odd months for sure. Hope you had a good week. And enjoy the last few days this week of this month of thankful. I have been doing the 30 Days of Thankful challenge for years. Usually on twitter sometimes on facebook. Now it just twitter. But I still do it! I am always thankful but for November I show off what I am thankful for at least some things :)
1. Off school this week so not much going on. But that is fine. Job stuff. I had a phone interview with the new Sprouts that opens in January but begins to train in mid December. I am trying to be hopeful but so far no one has called me back. I think the 3 things I had against me kept me from an immediate job interview set up: I don't have open schedule, I don't have a current job and I was rejected by one sprouts already. Whatever. I only know because my sister had an interview same day on phone and got set up for an in person one right away in December. Because she has not what I have. A job, open schedule and not rejected by Sprouts before. In other news of jobs. I applied to a lot of jobs. And on Black Friday made 3 interview appointments. 2 are at Walmart one at the dollar tree been trying to get on that is by us just opened last month. All are seasonal job openings. I need something at this point long as its more than 20hrs a week I need at least 25 even for a month I can save up or at least get presents and pay for bills. Then struggle in January. I am just unsure where else to apply if these don't work out. Dollar Tree is a no go pretty sure. Not only are they only UP to 20hrs a week the manager has to let go some people hired when the store opening. I have never heard of this before. Usually when a store opens those hired on spot or for the opening are kept on not let go like holiday help. Takes me back to 20 yrs ago and my first retail job firing me and claiming I was holiday help when I was never and I knew it and they knew it. 20 yrs flies by sometimes it really does. I am hopeful it will be okay. God has got this. I just need to silence the inner thoughts that want to dwell on what I know and try to figure out what I do not. It is "Trust in the Lord with ALL YOUR HEART and Lean NOT on your own understanding..." Prov 3:5-6
2. Planet fitness did that once last week just on Monday. Almost went on Wednesday but did not. Glad for once sad for only once. Weird as that is. As tiring as it is going and hard we work to get there. Its my only real workout now a days so there is that.... so yeah for gym sad for less. Maybe at least twice next week yeah?
3. Rain we had some on Wednesday night and Thursday some. But it gone by Thursday afternoon. It super short lived. I hope it helped the fires but did nothing for all else. We still in a drought. I heard we gonna get lots of rain this winter but so far nope. I am okay with less rain or a medium amount. Whatever we get we get. Its fine too.
4. Thanksgiving was sad as always. Miss uncle Mike. My sister worked so just me and my parents. Plus here I am diabetic now and cant have all the things I love: rolls, mash potatoes and stuffing. I miss stuffing. I allowed myself a spoonful each night. I had my own other stuff. My goal is another version of stuffing so I can feel better at Christmas. I made 2 pies. Took me 6 hours on Wednesday and they dang good if I don't say so myself. Shocking I thought they both crap but they both good! And not bad on carbs or sugars :D
5. Last week I felt like I was supposed to have a meal with my Pastor. He has asked everyone to meet with him eventually because he is a nice guy and wants to get to know his sheep. So I braved it all and went there and met with him and his wife at our cafe in downtown called Beach Break. I have been there 3 other times before this. Once with my dad for this breakfast he did one with each of us few years ago. A one time thing. I went last year when I was getting tests done for doctor and it was after and my parents treated me. And last time was a month ago for our family thing. This was different. I was not with family. But something made me open up to them. I really liked it and had FUN talking to them. I shared more than I thought I would and it was grown up of me. So not me. Do I do that? I also didnt tell them things I wanted to and had planned out. It came out in weird ways what I had planned. But they nice. And glad they got to hear my story at least part of it. I was sad when it over and nervous before I am so weird! I had built it up for a week too so there you go. But it was nice. Cause I know they care about me and I feel that with very few people. Doesn't help I have no real friends left and not anyone who cares about me or wants to hear from me. Don't get me wrong. But I am beginning to want real friends again and no idea how to make any. Maybe if I showed up for to their womans study or something else. Maybe I could make friends at church. I have never done that before. Its just nice to have people care about me and that was what it was. Nice believers caring about me and my dreams and hopes. God knew I was supposed to be there. I know nudges when I feel them.
well that is all for now. See you all in December!! Have a great rest of the week and month. God bless you all!
